Chapter 235: Chapter 235: Meeting Yuan Xi at the Airport
Chapter 235: Chapter 235: Meeting Yuan Xi at the Airport
Yuan Xi slowly fell asleep while Huo Shiyuan was softly recounting their childhood tales.
By the time Yuan Xi woke up, the day had already brightened.
She went to the bathroom and heard the sound of water.
The water stopped, and Huo Shiyuan, dressed in a bathrobe, came out and pulled Yuan Xi into his arms, saying, “It seems that bedtime stories are quite effective. You fell asleep quickly last night. We can tell them to Lele and An An before bedtime.”
Yuan Xi looked up at Huo Shiyuan with a light laugh, “Should I tell Lele and An An how their dad clung to the big tree at the village entrance, crying with a runny nose, not wanting to leave?”
Huo Shiyuan bowed his head and lightly flicked Yuan Xi’s nose, “You’re not allowed to tell that, and I only cried, no runny nose.”
Yuan Xi smiled, “You finally admit that you cried.”
The two of them dallied in the bathroom for quite some time.
When Yuan Xi went out, she was stunned at how much time had passed; had they really spent an hour just hugging and talking in the bathroom?
That time was too fleeting.
Yuan Xi casually changed into a blue sleeveless dress and put on a blazer of the same color. Without even time to do her hair, she rushed to Ruchu Cafe with her hair loose.
Ruchu Cafe was located in an old western-style building in the center of City A. In the early morning, it was usually frequented by office workers buying coffee, so the private rooms were quite empty.
After ordering an iced Americano, Yuan Xi saw Mi Yi, dressed in sportswear, approaching. Clearly, Mi Yi had just been running nearby.

Mi Yi said to Yuan Xi, “You asked the senior to call me here. What do you want? I don’t think there is anything left to talk about between us.”
Yuan Xi said, “Mi Yi, I know you’re laundering money for Bo Chi.”
Frowning, Mi Yi retorted, “Is Gu Hanchen making things up, and now you too? How could I possibly be laundering money? ‘Destroying Stars’ and ‘Love at the Top’ have been genuinely successful. Are you accusing me because my productions ‘Destroying Stars’ and ‘Love at the Top’ have beaten ‘Forest Pursuit’ and ‘Escape from Galaxy’?”
Yuan Xi slowly said, “Whether there’s a false accusation, you know best. Mi Yi, Bo Chi told me something yesterday; he could make you face unredeemable doom! Bo Chi didn’t get directly involved in the money laundering, the company involved in the laundering, you’re the actual person in control. Bo Chi could pin all the blame for the laundering on you.”
Mi Yi replied sharply, “Yuan Xi, I don’t know what means you used to seduce Bo Chi, but he’s not Huo Shiyuan or Gu Hanchen, who could be fooled and deceived by you. You won’t succeed in sowing discord between Bo Chi and me. Bo Chi trusts me, that’s why, since he is a foreigner and it’s inconvenient, he registered all his domestic enterprise assets in my name. Your attempts to drive a wedge between us are futile.”
Yuan Xi took a sip of her coffee and said calmly, “Sister Mi Yi, no matter what, I am still thankful to you for bringing me into Mi Chen. This is the last time I warn you, and after that, I truly owe you nothing.”
“Yuan Xi, can’t you stop being so hypocritical? I know you hate me to the core, and your pretense really disgusts me!”
Yuan Xi looked at Mi Yi and said, “Believe it or not, I’m not being hypocritical. Sister Mi Yi, I just want to save you. The evidence of your involvement in money laundering is conclusive… but you have to realize the difference between a mastermind and an accomplice. If you’re seen as the mastermind with the amount you’re involved in, you could be facing life imprisonment, whereas an accomplice, with legal assistance, might only get ten to eight years.”
Mi Yi furrowed her brow and said, “I haven’t laundered any money, Yuan Xi, enough!”
“Yuan Xi, you’re really despicable. You took away my Mi Chen and now, whether it’s in games or movies, you’re pissed because you’re always one step behind me, right?”
“Knowing that my relationship with Bo Chi is special, you still went after him!
Do you think Huo Shiyuan would be satisfied knowing you covet Bo Chi while eating from his bowl?
You won’t succeed in disrupting Bo Chi’s and my relationship! Aren’t you despicable?”
Saying so, Mi Yi grabbed the iced coffee in front of her and doused Yuan Xi’s face with it, “This is payback for stealing Mi Chen. Yuan Xi, from the start, you were destined to be trampled under my feet, unable to turn things around. Prison, life sentences—that should be your fate, not mine, for deceiving Mi Chen from me!”
Yuan Xi took a napkin from the side, wiping her face as she said, “Mi Yi, my courteous advice today is not only because we know each other but also because I don’t wish to see you as the laundering mastermind sentenced to life, which would affect Mi Chen’s stock value. Since graduation, I’ve put just as much effort into Mi Chen as you and Gu Hanchen have. I care more than anyone about ensuring that one of Mi Chen’s founders isn’t tarnished with the stain of being a money laundering mastermind!”
“””Destroying Stars and Peak Meeting’s love, you know exactly what kind of data that is!””
Yuan Xi said, “If I’m not mistaken, the outfit I’m wearing today costs 160,000. When I get back, I’ll send you the invoice and the clothes, and I hope you compensate me with clean money for this outfit.””
After Yuan Xi finished speaking, she stood up.
Mi Yi looked at Yuan Xi and said, “Destroying Stars was a game I wanted to create back when I was with Mi Chen. You and Gu Hanchen have always said that this game wouldn’t have a market, but now with a daily revenue of over a hundred million, it’s clear this game is a success. Tell me, who is Mi Chen’s success thanks to?””
“The box office for Peak Meeting’s love will always be higher than Escape from Galaxy, and your jealousy won’t change that.””
Yuan Xi laughed and said, “Jealous? Mi Yi, why would I be jealous of you over a game or movie box office figures?
I’d be glad if there were game data that could surpass Forest Pursuit. The potential for domestic game developers is still vast, and the gaming market is far from saturated.
If Destroying Stars is succeeding based on genuine data, all I can do is congratulate you, and also congratulate Mi Chen for finally meeting a worthy competitor.
If I wouldn’t be jealous over real data, why would I be over fake data?””
Yuan Xi wiped the coffee from her hair with a tissue and said, “It’s you who should be concerned with these figures, which just goes to show you lost from the very start.””
Mi Yi clenched her fists tightly, rage filling her eyes as she glared at Yuan Xi.
After Yuan Xi left the cafe, she returned to Yunsen Court to wash off the coffee Mi Yi had spilled on her.
Mi Yi received a phone call in the cafe and went next door to the large flat she had bought in the city center, where her neighbor was Bo Chi.
After Mi Yi entered, Bo Chi reached out and tightly grabbed the back of her head, clutching her neck forcefully.
“Who allowed you to spill coffee on Xiao Xi?””
“Bo… Bo Chi?””
Mi Yi, with Bo Chi gripping her neck, said, “Bo Chi, you… you…”
Mi Yi saw a ruthlessness in Bo Chi’s eyes unlike his usual gentleness; fear was the only thing left in her eyes. “Bo Chi, Yuan Xi is trying to drive a wedge between us, saying you want to pin the money laundering blame solely on me. Does she think everyone is like her, without real friends and disloyal? I know our relationship; you wouldn’t do that.””
Bo Chi said, “What if I told you that Xiao Xi wasn’t trying to cause discord…””
Mi Yi frowned and looked at Bo Chi, “Bo Chi!””
Bo Chi laughed coldly and said, “Do you know why I got you involved in money laundering? Because you knew Xiao Xi, yet foolishly upon returning to the country, you kept opposing her. But that’s alright, your jealousy and discontent helped me speed up the laundering process, but today… you shouldn’t have spilled coffee on Xiao Xi.””
After finishing his words, Bo Chi picked up a bucket of ice water and poured it over Mi Yi’s head, saying, “Remember your lesson now?””
Mi Yi was drenched by the ice water and shivered coldly; frowning, she looked at Bo Chi, “Bo Chi… how could you do this to me?””
Bo Chi said, “Why not? I thought you were already aware of my relationship with Xiao Xi at Fu Qin’s auction. How dare you spill coffee on Xiao Xi?
Yuan Xi is really kind, to even bother warning you, but her warning is too late. Now call Yuan Xi and have her come to Yunfei Private Airport in City A.””
Mi Yi coldly said, “I… won’t arrange to meet Yuan Xi.””
Bo Chi took out a black gun and pressed it against Mi Yi’s temple, “You know, I’ve always favored obedient people.””
Mi Yi looked at the gun, her voice trembling slightly, “Bo Chi, you wouldn’t dare to kill me. If I die, you can’t pin all the money laundering charges on me!””
Bo Chi said, “If you die, it’ll just look like a suicide out of guilt. Hurry up and arrange for Yuan Xi to come to Yunfei Airport!””
Mi Yi frowned and looked at Bo Chi, “I hate Yuan Xi, but I won’t stoop to such despicable means to deal with her. If you’re going to kill me, then kill me!”
